15. I am very well aware that people will do it regardless of if there are permits or not

It is not unique to particular states nor is it unique to the United States, but the United States seems to be the worst at that. But again, having a background check every time you get a gun is better than nothing. I am in no way saying that this is perfect, and things will fall under the cracks, but at least it would be a start. If not that, then what other options are there? I have yet to find a better alternative unless there is something I don't know. I do sometimes wish we could learn from other places on how to handle things like this.
